Description

PRODUCT COMPRISING A PLANT FOR MEDICINAL, COSMETIC, COLORING OR DERMATOLOGIC USE FOR PHARMACEUTICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL,

The invention relates to a product for at least one of medicinal, cosmetic, coloring or dermatological uses. The product includes fibrous plant products and plant extracts applied thereto. The invention also relates to a corresponding process for producing said product and to the use thereof in a medicament, cosmetic, colorant or dermatological product or at least one of application or treatment. The plant used may be any desired plant, cosmetics, or any plant containing one or more substances of interest to obtain pigmentation or dermatological effects.

Today, plant-derived materials are used in many applications. For example, when the use of a plant-based product is intended, such as in a colored article or hair, or in food or skin due to the preference of natural ingredients, it generally requires certain conditions such as solvent type, moisture content, temperature, pH, , It may take a considerable amount of time to obtain the final result. Indeed, when a plant product is applied in the form of a powder, for example a hair or a skin, two things happen: one is the extraction of the substance (s) and the other is the extraction of the substance It is fixed. In fact, this requires long contact times to obtain meaningful results. Moreover, hair and skin can be damaged by substances in plants, such as traces of heavy metals, pesticides, and polyphenols. Also, the amount of substance (s) of interest is not necessarily constant for one application from another application due to the variability of the native component (s). Thus, applying a hair coloring product of the same fragrance can have different results.

The foregoing examples apply equally to other uses of plant materials, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or dermatological applications. Many substances so far obtained from plant materials can not be used for medicinal or dermatological applications due to the time required for these substances to exhibit their effects. Also, in many applications, the concentration of the substance required for a particular medicinal or dermatological effect can not be achieved, for example due to the size of the tablet, or it may be difficult to administer. The plant material may release an insufficient amount of material and / or may have a low emissivity. Sublingual administration is very often impossible for the same reason. In addition, in medicinal or dermatological applications, this may be the case when only a greater number of substances of the plant (s) or combination of complex extracts achieve the desired effect. Sometimes these combinations do not know how it works and what material is needed to achieve the desired effect. In this case, it is desirable to use most or substantially all of the materials contained in each plant (s). On the other hand, it may be desirable to isolate certain desired substances from unwanted materials such as potentially toxic plant components.

There is still a need to improve products derived from plant materials for pharmaceutical or cosmetic or coloring or dermatological applications. In particular, it is desirable to control the amount of the plant-derived material as well as the conditions and time required to achieve the desired medicament or cosmetic or coloring or dermatological effect.

The present invention relates to a product comprising a plant material as a raw material. In particular, the product may comprise fibrous plant products and plant extracts. The fibrous plant product may comprise a solid portion of the plant, and the plant extract may comprise a material extracted from the plant. The fibrous plant product may form a layer on which the plant extract is applied. The plant extract may form a second layer, or at least partially enter or penetrate fibrous plant products. Alternatively, the fibrous plant product may have any shape, such as a piece, sheet or powder, and the plant extract may likewise be applied to fibrous plant products. It is possible according to the invention to first separate the substance from one or more plants and to mix one or more of the subsequently remaining or separated substances.

In the easiest case, one plant is separated into plant extracts and fibrous plant products. Subsequently, the fibrous plant product and the plant extract are mixed to obtain a modified or reconstructed version of the original plant with improved properties. For example, certain substances of a plant may be easily water-soluble, and others may not. In this way, the rate of release or extraction of a particular substance can be promoted or even adjusted to achieve medicinal or cosmetic or pigmentation or dermatological effects. Also, higher concentrations of certain or all substances may be present compared to native plants.

The fibrous plant product may have fiber properties at least partially and may include materials obtained from one or more specific parts of one or more plants, such as, for example, blends of other plants. Plant extracts may also include materials obtained from one or more specific parts of one or more plants, such as, for example, blends of other plants. Certain substances may be present in certain parts of the plant, such as, for example, in one or more of the roots, stem, torso, caulis, leaves, lamina, fruit, flower, Lt; / RTI > Plant extracts may be soluble, e.g., water-soluble or dispersible.

The plant extract may comprise one or more substances obtained from plants of one or more kinds of fibrous plant products. That is, the plant (s) used as raw material (s) for fibrous plant products and plant extracts may be at least partially identical.

The plant may be selected from one or more herbs, medicinal plants, tea, vegetables, dye plants or spices. Examples of plants useful according to the present invention are provided in the detailed description. The list of plants will provide an overview of representative plants that may be used in connection with the present invention. The distinction in each application of plants should not be construed as limiting. Two or more categories of plants may be used in conjunction with the product according to the invention.

The plant may also be selected from one or more plants containing anthocyanins or carotenoids, or flavonoids. Basically, all plants with one or more desired substances for medicinal or cosmetic or coloring or dermatological applications can be used as raw materials for the products according to the invention. In addition, any combination of two or more plants may be used. That is, the product may comprise a material obtained from at least one of medicinal, cosmetic, coloring or dermatological plants.

The article of manufacture may comprise a layer of a fibrous plant product on which a layer of plant extract is formed. In addition, plant extracts can penetrate into fibrous plant products, either partially or wholly. It may also be provided in a multi-layer product with two or more plant extract layers, each layer containing a specific substance (s) to provide a particular effect. Optionally, the layers of the multi-layer product may at least partially penetrate each other. Plant extracts can be applied to fibrous plant products as fluids or gels or as slurries or powders.

The multi-layer product may comprise at least one layer of fibrous vegetable product on which a layer of plant extract is provided. Additional layers of material, such as, for example, plant fibers and / or materials made from cellulose fibers and / or synthetic fibers, may be applied to one or both sides of the first layer (top / bottom ). ≪ / RTI > The advantage of this design is to develop and / or improve certain physical product characteristics such as wet strength, tensile strength, and / or to improve product appearance and appearance, such as appearance and feel, To increase consumer expectations. The multi-layer structure may also comprise more layers with plant extracts. The multilayer structure may be used, for example, as a face mask, bandage, patch, or the like.

Similarly, the plant extract may contain at least about 30 wt%, or at least about 40 wt%, or at least about 50 wt%, or at least about 60 wt%, or at least about 70 wt%, or at least about 80 wt% At least about 90% by weight or about 100% by weight.

Depending on the intended use, the product may be, for example, a sheet or powder such as a paper-like sheet or a cream or slurry or paste or a foam or liquid or a tablet or pellet or granule. The product may be substantially dried, but may optionally be rehydrated prior to use, for example. For example, when used in hair coloring or bleaching such as dyeing, tinting, highlighting, for example, a composition to be applied to the hair may be obtained by rehydrating the dry colored powder with water or other liquid or solvent . Powders and / or sheets to be rehydrated can also be used in other applications such as, for example, facial masks for cosmetics or wound dressings or bands for medicines, where water or other liquids or solvents or mixtures thereof, Can be applied on the product before it is used as applied on the skin. In addition, when the product is stored or further processed, for example, as finalized or pre-finalized for a particular application, it may be added to the powder or sheet for transportation for storage or completion processes, Lt; / RTI >

The product can be at least one of a drug or drug, at least one portion of a medical device, a cosmetic, a colorant, a dermatological agent, an antibacterial agent, an antiviral agent, an antifungal agent, or a bactericide. The product may also be used in a method of treating a disease or disorder.

The present invention also relates to at least one of a medicament, a colorant, a cosmetic or a dermatological composition comprising an article according to the invention. The present invention also relates to a medicinal, cosmetic or dermatological device or kit of parts comprising the product according to the invention.

The product according to the invention may be used for at least one of medicinal, cosmetic, coloring or dermatological applications.

The present invention also relates to a coloring process comprising applying a product according to the invention to a surface to be colored. One aspect relates to the coloring of hair or skin, i.e. the product according to the invention is applied to the hair or skin to be pigmented. Likewise, other items such as fibers or food can be pigmented. The colored product may be a sheet-like flow or paste or slurry or powder or foam.

The invention also relates to a method for the treatment of a disease or condition comprising the step of administering the product of the invention. In addition to being well concentrated, the plant material can also be administered sublingually or transdermally or via chewing gum, as the material can be concentrated as well as released faster than released from known products.

The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the product according to the invention. The method may include the following steps:

a) extracting at least one substance from at least one plant to obtain a plant extract;

b) separating the plant extract from the at least partially fibrous residue;

c) optionally refining said residue;

d) preparing a sheet like product from at least a portion of said residue;

e) optionally concentrating or conditioning or aromatizing said plant extract;

f) applying the plant extract of step b) or e) to the sheet of step d); And

g) optionally, drying the product of step f)

It is also possible to select one or more substances or portions from the residue before the product is prepared in step d). Step e) also optionally includes the selection of a particular substance and the filtering of unwanted substances. The choice of plant is similar to the description of each product.

In step a), the solvent may be used to extract one or more substances. The solvent can be any known solvent such as polar protic, non-polar protic, polar aprotic, non-polar aprotic solvents. A combination of solvents may also be used. The one or more solvents may be determined based on the plant (s) to be treated and the substance (s) to be extracted. Alternatively or additionally to the solvent, extraction of one or more substances can be accomplished by mechanical forces. To extract the substance (s) through the mechanical force, the plant (s) can be pressed by known mechanical presses or by changing ambient pressure. Depending on the plant (s) and substance (s) to be extracted, simple filtering may be used alone, or the solvent (s) or mechanical (s) may be used, such as, for example, It can be used additionally to the force. Other filtering means can be used, for example, with mechanical vibrations to separate solids such as pollen from plants.

The extraction step can be carried out using components of a blend of plants or plants. Also, as described in conjunction with the product, one or more specific portions of the plant may be used.

The at least partially fibrous residue may be mixed with the at least partially fibrous part of the at least one additional plant before the sheet is made. Materials of different origin, for example mechanical or pharmacological, may be mixed with one another to obtain the desired product characteristics. Also, at least partially the fibrous residues can be mixed with the stabilizing agent before the sheet is made. For example, the fibrous residues may be mixed with synthetic fibers and / or natural fibers to obtain specific mechanical properties, wherein the fibers are preferably non-soluble and / or may be incorporated into the food, medicinal and / .

The plant extract of step b) or e) may be mixed with at least one additional plant plant extract before applying the plant extract to the sheet. In addition, the plant extract of step b) or e) may be mixed with the texturing agent before applying the plant extract to the sheet. For example, an emulsifier or stabilizer or a texture agent such as a phosphate or dough conditioner may be used to add or modify the overall texture, color, texture or surface of the article.

The method comprises adding ingredients to the sheet of step d) before applying the plant extract of step b) or step e), or adding ingredients such as, for example, undesirable compounds or impurities from plant extracts The method further includes the step of removing. Likewise, the method may further comprise the step of adding, or at least partly removing components from the fibrous residue, prior to applying the plant extract of step b) or step e) to the sheet of step d) .

The composition of step g) may be further processed to obtain regular or irregular shaped forms or powders or creams or slurries or pastes or foams or liquids or pellets or granules. When the product contains, for example, a liquid content such as a paste, a specific amount or substantially whole plant extract may be dissolved or extracted from each piece of fibrous plant product or fibrous plant product. That is, further processing of the composition of step g) by adding a fluid can change the appearance, but the advantages of the reconstituted product according to the invention are retained.

The present invention also relates to a process for preparing a pigment according to the process as described above, and optionally further comprising the step of treating the sheet-like product to obtain a powder or paste or cream or slurry. Exemplary processing steps may include cutting or grinding. The powder may be further treated to obtain, for example, a paste or cream or slurry. The latter step can be achieved by adding a fluid to the powder. As explained, even if some or substantially all of the material is released from the fibrous plant product, the product according to the present invention still provides all the advantages, because all the materials are still present, for example, in the paste.

The basic idea of the present invention is to treat at least one plant to obtain, at least in part, fibrous residues and plant extracts. Both the fibrous residue and the plant extract are processed and finally blended to obtain a reconstituted plant product whose properties can be controlled depending on the amount and type of material used. It is also contemplated that other materials not derived from plants may be used to modify the properties of the resulting product, such as to obtain certain mechanical properties or to add flavor or to improve control of the release rate of the whole or a particular material . ≪ / RTI >

1 shows a schematic cross-section of an article according to the invention. The first layer (1) comprises a fibrous plant product and the second layer (2) comprises a plant extract. The first layer may have a thickness of 100 [mu] m to 0.5 cm, preferably 0.2 mm to 5 mm. Instead of having two substantially separate layers, the plant extract may enter or penetrate into the fibrous plant product, partly or wholly. The first layer (1) may have a porous structure to facilitate the entry of the plant extract into the fibrous plant product. In addition, the fibrous plant product may be any shape or a small piece of paste or powder, and the plant extract may be applied to plant products.

The product according to the invention may for example comprise a first layer comprising a fibrous plant product, a second layer comprising a plant extract with a first substance (s), a plant extract together with a second substance (s) Three, four, five, or more layers, such as a third layer (not shown), or the like. Each layer can include other material (s) that provide a particular effect. In addition, additional layers or materials in a conventional layer may be provided to control the order and / or amount and / or rate of release of the material from the article.

One or both of the plant extracts and the fibrous plant product may further comprise a matrix of texturizing agents, such as non-crosslinked hydrocolloid polymers of natural or synthetic origin, preferably of natural origin. The texture agent may be selected from at least one of the following:

Natural preparations of vegetable origin, such as carob gum, guar gum, pectin, alginate, carrageenan, agar-agar, gum arabic and cellulose;

● xanthan gum Natural origin, of microbial origin such as gellan gum, hyaluronic acid and dextran;

• of animal origin such as gelatin, collagen and chitosan natural preparations;

Mineral formulations such as clay and silica and synthetic polymers such as polyacrylic and polyacrylamide formulations.

The present invention may be used in a number of fields, such as for medicinal or cosmetic or colorant or dermatological use or for any combination of these fields. Based on applicable areas, the following discussion of the present invention should not be construed as limiting the basic concept to the same extent. Plants mentioned in connection with a particular application may be used in conjunction with other applications. More than one application can be combined into a single product.

The articles of the present invention provide improved properties with respect to at least one of material concentration and material release. Conventional methods of administering plant products can be improved, and methods that have hitherto been difficult to administer plant products, such as, for example, sublingual administration, can be used more effectively.

The reason for this improvement is that due to the treatment of the raw material (s) according to the present invention, a controlled amount of the selected material can be placed in the product, i.e. the fibrous plant product or the plant extract. If desired, one plant may be reconstituted or modified so that the final product comprises most or substantially all of the raw material. Modified products are advantageous over native plants because the material from the modified product can be released in a more controlled manner than is released, for example, from natural plants. It may also be desirable to incorporate other substances or synthetic materials of other plants into the product to alter its mechanical or pharmaceutical / dermatological / cosmetic / colorant properties. Similarly, it may be desirable to isolate certain undesired materials, such as, for example, insecticides, metals or polyphenols.

The article according to the invention can also be designed to include other materials for different effects. In particular, the product can be designed to emit different materials at different times and rates. As a result, it is possible that the first material provides the first effect, and the subsequent second material provides the other effect. The time at which the material provides an effect may at least partially overlap. For example, it is possible to provide a dermatological route that first provides a cooling effect and subsequently emits a substance with unpleasant side effects such as burning or stiffness. Likewise, medicaments may include fragrances or spices for achieving a more pleasant administration to children, adults or animals, as well as materials that provide the desired medicinal effect.

Medical application

According to one aspect, the present invention can be used in pharmaceutical applications. In particular, due to the improved properties of the product according to the invention, the administration of the medicinal substance becomes more efficient.

Sublingual administration of a particular plant product was very often impossible, since the achieved concentration was too low to achieve the desired medicinal effect. Having at least one of the higher concentration of the substance (s), the higher glass rate of the substance (s), and the better solubility characteristics makes it possible to administer the plant product sublingually. Sublingual administration has certain advantages over oral administration. This is often faster and ensures that there is a risk of degradation only by the saliva enzyme before the substance enters the bloodstream. Orally administered drugs should survive and pass through the hostile environment of the gastrointestinal tract, which is at risk of degradation and metabolism by gastric acid, bile, or by many internal enzymes. In addition, after absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, these drugs must pass through a liver that can be extensively metabolized. Therefore, it is highly desirable to administer a specific substance in a sublingual manner.

The product according to the invention can be used to make baths such as medical foot baths. For example, the product may be a powder or paper sheet. In addition, the product may optionally be filled with conventional plant products and / or products according to the invention, such as, for example, small cut pieces. For example, a bag-shaped product can be inserted into a solvent such as cold water, warm water or hot water to extract the material from the product. The solvent is enriched with the substance released from the product, and the enriched solvent can be used, for example, with a medical foot bath. Likewise, the solvent may be used for inhalation. Likewise, the reconstituted plant product in the form of a bag can be used to make other medicinal baths or liquids.

As mentioned above, essentially all plants with one or more medicinal or cosmetic or coloring agents or one or more desired substances for dermatological application can be used as raw materials for the products according to the invention.

Dermatological application

In addition, the product of the present invention can be included in dermatological products or medicines. For example, a patch or mask as shown in Fig. 2 may comprise an adhesive zone 3 and a pharmaceutically active zone 4 comprising the product according to the invention. The patch may be applied to the skin to be treated, while the pharmaceutically active area 4 is directed towards the skin to be treated. When a patch is applied by pressing against the skin to be treated, the adhesive zone 3 fixes the patch against the skin and the pharmaceutically active zone 4 exerts its effect. The patch or mask may have a variety of shapes, such as, for example, a preformed shape corresponding to a human face, including an opening for the nose, eyes or mouth. The mask according to the present invention may not include the adhesive region 3 to avoid skin irritation. The mask may also be rehydrated prior to use, such as applying cold or hot water or other liquids or solvents or mixtures thereof. In this way, the release of the substance contained in the pharmaceutically active region 4 can be improved. In addition, the adhesive zone 3 and the pharmaceutically active zone 4 can be at least partially or substantially completely overlapped. Also, the adhesive zone 3 can be omitted if this is not necessary, or where the pharmaceutically active zone 4 comprises a substance with the main effect or side effect of adhesion.

Figure 2b shows an exemplary patch formed by the active region reconstituted car (Sample 1562A1), which was laminated to one side with 16-gsm synthetic (rayon fiber) film.

One or both of the plant extract and the fibrous plant product, especially the substance contained therein, can act on the skin, for example, by diffusion or penetration into the skin, or simply by the effect of surface contact with the skin. One or more of the following substances may be used: chamomile, wild pansy, aloe vera, tea tree, St. John's Wort, burdock, location hazel, willow, dandelion or oregano oregano).

Colorant application

The product according to the invention can be used for coloring applications such as coloring of one or more of hair, skin and items such as clothes, bags or food. The term pigmentation includes all coloring treatments such as tinting, dyeing, highlighting and bleaching. The colored product according to the invention may comprise a mask as referred to in connection with dermatological applications, said mask comprising a coloring substance (s). The products of the present invention also allow for more effective coloration in the sense that more coloring agents can be released from the reconstituted plant than those released from natural plants against the weight of a given material. In addition, the products of the present invention enable faster coloring than these same non-commodity plants, since extraction or liberation is faster than natural plants. In practice, the colorant may be applied on the surface of the article by a process as described below, and may be released upon contact with a solvent such as water. The colorant may be soluble. The solubles or colorants can be accurately measured and their amount can be precisely controlled (reduced or increased to a standard level), which allows for better control. In addition, the product may always comprise substantially the same amount of substance (s). That is, it may contain the same amount of substance (s) from one production to another. Thus, the change in the coloring effect can be reduced or avoided. This applies equally to all other applications, i.e., medicinal, cosmetic and dermatological applications.

In the pigment, various plants, herbs, herbs, tea, vegetable dye plants and perfumes can be mixed to obtain a specific color. For example, if you want to color a light hair with a dark hair, a blend of henna and indigo can be used.

The invention also relates to fabrics or leather or textiles or food or other items and coloration products which can be pigmented with the material comprised by the plant product.

Preferred plants for cosmetics or tinting applications are Indigofera Tinctoria, Lawsonia Inermis, Cureuma Longa, Juglans Regia, Rubia Tinctorum (Rubia Tinctorum) ), Quillaja Saponaria, and Chamaemelum Nobile. ≪ Desc / Clms Page number 2 >

Way

The present invention also relates to a method of making a product. For example, the method comprises the following steps:

a) extracting at least one substance from at least one plant to obtain a plant extract;

b) separating the plant extract at least in part from the fibrous residue;

c) optionally purifying said residue;

d) preparing a sheet-form product from said residue, and optionally producing a sheet-form product;

e) optionally concentrating, purifying or aromatizing said plant extract;

f) applying said plant extract of step (b) or e) to a sheet of step d);

g) optionally, drying the product of step f)

In one embodiment of the invention, one or more plant components (plant material or plant furnish) such as, for example, stems, scraps, leaves, pulverizates, dusts and / or shorts, (E.g., water and / or other compounds). For example, various water-miscible solvents such as alcohols (e. G., Ethanol) are mixed with water to form aqueous solvents. The water content of the aqueous solvent may, in some cases, exceed 50% by weight of the solvent. In one embodiment, the water content is at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or about 100% by weight of the solvent. Deionized water, distilled water or tap water can be used. The amount of solvent in the suspension may vary widely, but is generally added in an amount of from 75% to about 99% by weight of the suspension. However, the amount of solvent may vary depending on the nature of the solvent, the temperature at which the extraction is performed, and the type of plant component.

After forming the solvent / plant funnel mixture, some or all of the soluble extract fractions of the funnel mixture can be optionally separated (e.g., extracted) from the mixture. If desired, the aqueous solvent / plant furnish mixture may be stirred during extraction by sterilization, shaking or other mixing to increase the extraction rate. Typically, extraction is carried out for about 0.5 hours to about 6 hours. Also, although not required, typical extraction temperatures range from about 10 < 0 > C to about 100 < 0 > C.

Prior to the extraction step, an optional grinding or cutting step may be used to disrupt the plant walls by destroying the plant or plant parts.

When separated from the plant solution insoluble residue, the soluble extract fraction may optionally be concentrated using any known class of concentrators, such as a vacuum evaporator. In one embodiment, the soluble component can be highly concentrated. In addition, soluble extract fractions that are not concentrated or concentrated can be used in any desired manner. For example, the soluble extract fraction may be used as a fragrance material or some of it may be added to an insoluble residue fraction.

Once extracted, the insoluble residue fraction may optionally be applied to one or more mechanical refiner to produce fibrous pulp. Some examples of suitable refiners may include a disc refiner, a cone refiner, and the like. The insoluble residue fraction can be used in any desired manner. For example, insoluble residue fractions can also be used as fragrance materials used in making compositions of the present invention, also referred to herein as plant material reconstituted.

To produce the product of the present invention, the insoluble residue fraction may be transferred to a papermaking station. The papermaking station includes a forming device, which may include, for example, a forming wire, a gravity drain, a suction drain, a felt press, a Yankee dryer, a drum drier, and the like. Generally, the insoluble residue fraction can be in the form of a pulp. In the forming apparatus, the pulp is disposed on a wire belt forming a sheet-like shape. Excess water is removed from the sheet using gravity drainage, suction drains, presses and dryers. If desired, a portion of the soluble extract fraction may then be reapplied to the insoluble residue fraction. When the insoluble residue fraction is recombined with the soluble fraction, the resulting plant product is generally referred to as a "reconstituted plant material ".

The reconstituted plant material can generally be formed in a variety of ways. For example, in one implementation, band casting can be used to form the reconstituted plant material. The band casting is typically carried out in the presence of a binder such as gum arabic, guar gum, alginate, xanthan, cellulose and cellulose derivatives (such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)), pectin or starch Using a slurry of the divided plant parts, it is coated on a steel band and then dried. In one embodiment, the method is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,353,541, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety; 3,420,241; 3,386,449; 3,760,815; And 4,674,519, which are incorporated herein by reference. The method of making the product of the present invention may also be carried out by a papermaking process to reconstitute any plant component (stem, scrap, leaf, powder, dust and / or shorts) into a paper product. Some examples of such processes are described in U.S. Patent 3,428,053, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 3,415,253; 3,561, 451; 3,467,109; 3,483,874; 3,860,012; 3,847,164; 4,182,349; 5,715,844; 5,724,998; And 5,765,570. For example, the formation of the product of the present invention using a papermaking technique can be accomplished by mixing the herb, herb, tea, vegetable dye plant and / or fragrance with water, extracting the soluble component therefrom, concentrating the soluble component , Refining the herb, herb, tea, vegetable dye plant and / or fragrance, forming a web, reapplying the concentrated soluble component, drying and shredding have.

Once extracted, the insoluble solid portion may optionally be applied to one or more mechanical refiner to produce fibrous pulp. Some examples of suitable refiners may include disk refiners, cone refiners, and the like, well known to those skilled in the art. The pulp from the scouring machine may then be transferred to a papermaking station including the forming device, which may include, for example, forming wires, gravity drains, suction drains, felt presses, Yankee dryers, drum driers, . In this forming apparatus, the pulp is disposed on a wire belt forming a sheet-like shape, and excess water is removed by gravity drain and suction drain and press. When isolated from the insoluble portion of the plant solution (plant extract), the soluble portion may optionally be concentrated using any known type of concentrator, such as a vacuum evaporator.

When in contact with a liquid (e.g., water), such as being infused in water, one or more wetting enhancers may be added to the fiber portion to reduce potential degradation of the preferably reconstituted material. Polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin, polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin, poly (aminoamide) -epichlorohydrin resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, alkyl ketene dimer, alkyl succinic anhydride Such as food, medicines, cosmetics, colorants (e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, lead, polyvinylamine, oxidized polysaccharide Or dampening agents selected for dermatological applications may be used. Wetting enhancers are well known to those skilled in the art and are well known to those of skill in the art and may be used in combination with other ingredients such as BFR (Bundesinstitut fur Risikobewertung) XXXVI and BFR XXXVI / 1 or FDA (Food & Drug Administration) 21 176.170, FDA 21 CFR 176.110, FDA 21 CFR 176.120, FDA 21 CFR 176.1180 Lt; / RTI > The wet strength agent may be used, for example, in an amount of about 1% w / w to about 20% w / w, preferably about 0.1% w / w to about 10% w / w, more preferably about 5% do. The wet toughening agent is preferably added to the fibrous part (step d) or when preparing the sheet-like product.

In one embodiment, the water used for extraction is hot water, preferably about 30-100 占 폚, about 40-90 占 폚, or about 50-80 占 폚, or more preferably about 70 占 폚.

In one embodiment, the coating rate of the soluble portion on the fibrous web is about 5-80% (w / w), about 10-70% (w / w), more preferably about 20-50% (w / to be. In some implementations, the coating rate or soluble fraction added back to the base web (fibrous web) is similar to that of the extract (i.e. the so-called "standard level") contained in the plant and extracted.

In one embodiment, the basis weight of the final product is from about 20 g / m 2 to about 200 g / m 2 (dry basis), more preferably from about 90 g / m 2 to about 120 g / m 2.

The extraction time depends on the herbs, medicinal plants, tea, vegetable dye plants and / or fragrances that are added to the extraction process. In one embodiment of the invention, the extraction time is about 15 to 60 minutes, preferably 45 minutes.

In one embodiment of the method of the present invention, the extraction step is performed using components of the blend of plants, and in another embodiment, the extraction step is performed using components of a single plant.

Extraction can also be carried out by using hot water or by other means, i. E. By extraction with a supercritical gas, such as carbon dioxide, or by extraction with a solvent such as ethanol, hexane, acetone, R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) , Carbon dioxide, and hydrofluorocarbons. In one embodiment, extraction may be carried out using at least one solvent at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. Extraction can also be carried out using a mixture of other solvents. In other implementations, extraction may be performed using at least one solvent, such as, for example, R134a or carbon dioxide, at different temperatures and at different pressures and other conditions (liquid or gas). For example, extraction may be carried out in a liquid state (such as a solvent that is volatile or non-volatile at room temperature), in a critical state (such as water at a temperature above 100 ° C and at a pressure above 1 bar) (Such as carbon dioxide at temperatures above < RTI ID = 0.0 > 73 bar). ≪ / RTI >

Certain plants may require certain extraction conditions (time, temperature, solid / liquid ratio) due to the components contained therein that are temperature sensitive or not subject to certain extraction conditions. For example, extraction of lycopene from tomatoes must be carried out using specific enzymes to liberate the product from tomato cells. In the context of the present invention, processing aids such as pH adjusting agents (such as NaOH or organic acids), microwave, pressure, ultrasonic, protease, amylase, cellulose and / or pectinase may be used to enhance the extraction. Each time a reference is made to "extraction ", the term includes the above-mentioned alternative extraction means. Extractions used in connection with the present invention may be performed in a continuous or discontinuous state. Extraction conditions are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in standard textbooks such as Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers, 3rd edition (March 1997), Philip A.

In one embodiment, the extraction and / or pressing may be fresh, frozen or dried, selected from one or more of roots, trunks, trunks, caulis, leaves, lamina, RTI ID = 0.0 > plant material. ≪ / RTI >

The separation of the soluble portion (plant extract) from the insoluble portion (solid plant particle) can be carried out by filtration, for example, with or without the use of pressure, by centrifugation or other methods commonly used in the laboratory and well known to those skilled in the art And separating the liquid phase from the solid form.

In one embodiment of the method of using a mixture or blend of plants, the insoluble portion of the plant is mixed with the insoluble portion of at least one additional plant prior to making the sheet.

Certain implementations of the method of the present invention use the soluble portion of step b) or the concentrated soluble portion of step e), which may include the availability of at least one additional plant prior to applying the soluble or concentrated soluble portion to the sheet Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > soluble < / RTI >

In certain applications it is desirable to control the composition by adding or removing ingredients or components to or from plant extracts and / or insoluble plant particles prior to manufacturing the final product of the invention. Such adjustments may be made to modify / improve the chemical, physical and / or sensory properties of the finished product. The invention therefore furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises additionally removing the soluble part of step b) or the concentrated soluble part of step c) from the soluble part (plant extract) and / or from the insoluble part (solid plant particle) And adding or removing components.

In some implementations, the sheet or sheet-like product obtained in step g) is a web or a fiber-web. Sheet-like products or webs can be used in different sizes and shapes. In some cases, the composition of step g) is further cut or crumbled in the form of small, regular or irregular shapes, or is processed, for example by grinding to obtain a powder. In addition to cutting or crushing the sheet or fibrous web into the desired size and / or shape, it can be dried to the desired final moisture content.

One possible method of milling is cryogenic grinding. Cryogenic grinding, also known as freezing milling, freezing milling or cryomilling, is the act of chilling or chilling a material and then reducing it to small particles. Heat and oxidation reactions generally take place in the material by standard milling techniques at room temperature. By low temperature milling, enzymes, vitamins and many other active molecules are preserved in this reaction. This technique is used to make medicinal plant powders.

The product according to the invention may also be pelletized, for example, to produce tablets or granules. Pelletization is a process of compressing or molding a material into a pellet shape. The ingredients are generally first hammered to reduce the particle size of the ingredients. The ingredients are then batched, combined, and thoroughly mixed by a feed mixer. Once the feed is ready for this step, the feed is ready to be pelletized. The pelletization is carried out in a pellet mill, where the feed is generally conditioned and heat treated in a customized conditioner of the pellet mill. The feed is then pushed through the hole and pellet die and exits the pellet mill as a pelletized feed. After pelleting, the pellets are cooled to a temperature below the feed with a chiller. Other pelletization applications include pelletizing, conditioning, screening and, if necessary, coating.

According to the present invention, the plant is selected from the group consisting of herbs, herbs, tea, vegetable dye plants, perfumes and mixtures thereof. Exemplary plants useful in accordance with the present invention have already been described above with regard to particular applications.

In another embodiment, the present invention provides a composition comprising about 5-100% (w / w), preferably at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 30% (w / w) , At least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, or about 100% In one embodiment, the fiber-web may further comprise cellulose and / or synthetic fibers, and fibers of a herb, herb, tea, vegetable dye plant and / or fragrance, for example, 40/60 (w / w) 50 (w / w), 60/40 (w / w), 70/30 (w / w) or 20/80 (w / w). In another embodiment of the present invention, the fiber-web of the present invention is obtainable by the method disclosed herein, i.e. as an intermediate product in step d) of the process.

The invention also relates to a fiber-web obtainable by the process according to the invention, i.e. in step d).

In some embodiments of the present invention, the fiber-web further comprises a coating or impregnation with a soluble portion (plant extract) of herbs, herbs, tea, vegetable dye plants and / or fragrances.

The coating or impregnation can be accomplished by various methods known to those skilled in the art, such as applying or treating a fiber-web or sheet-like structure with a plant extract, such as in a bath, or applying or treating by special application means such as spraying Lt; / RTI > In addition, various other ingredients such as incense or color treatments can also be applied to the web. In some embodiments, the fibrous sheet material is then dried using, for example, a tunnel dryer to provide a typical moisture content of less than 20% by weight, especially about 9-14% by weight, if soluble portions and / May be provided.

Thus, the present invention also relates to the impregnated or coated fiber-web obtainable by the process of the invention, i.e. in step g).

According to another embodiment, the fiber-web of the present invention further comprises a coating or impregnation with the soluble part (plant extract) of said herb, herb, tea, vegetable dye plant and / or fragrance. In another embodiment of the present invention, the fiber-web of the present invention is obtainable by the method disclosed herein, i.e. as the final product in step g) of the method.

The product of the present invention allows more efficient extraction (up to about 100% of the solubles can be extracted from the plant) in that more material can be released than natural plant ingredients for a given weight of material. The product also provides for faster extraction (than conventional extraction from vegetable material in natural, unmodified form). In particular, the compositions of the present invention have improved efficiencies, for example, in boiling or non-heated water or water at room temperature.

The method of making the compositions of the present invention may also be used to remove from the soluble or insoluble portion (s), for example, external substances, fragrance-altering ingredients or caffeine, insecticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, toxins and coumarins, Such as, for example, by removing allergenic molecules such as, for example, alginic, limonene, limonene, linalool, safflow, methylugenol, The addition of additives makes it possible to specifically adjust the final composition of the product.

In another embodiment, the soluble portion of the reconstituted material of the present invention can be precisely controlled (reduced, standardized, or increased compared to a standard level). The main advantage is that the level of the components in the reconstituted material can be precisely increased to a higher level than the original natural form, resulting in a product having a higher concentration of the desired substance. In addition, the regulation of the components can ensure a constant and standardized level of delivery component to compensate for the natural changes of the material, i. E. The natural changes of the active ingredients in the plant.

Preferably, the method of the present invention also allows for the reduction of undesired compounds from the material, such as optionally removing unwanted components (natural ingredients, pesticides, impurities, etc.). For example, it may be possible to obtain from a soluble part (plant extract) or an insoluble part (solid plant part), from both, liquid-liquid extraction, physical adsorption, centrifugation, chromatography, crystallization, decantation, (E. G., Using membranes), gas-liquid separation, and / or sublimation, and are well known to those skilled in the art, such as by distillation, electrophoresis, elutriation, evaporation, It is possible to remove the components by other means, preferably before applying the plant extract to the base web.

With regard to ingredient addition, other sources and extracts, fragrances, coloring agents and the like can be used, such as chlorophyll, anthocyanin, caramel, carotenoids.

The present invention is also capable of blending various plants and herbs for example for specific medicines, cosmetics, coloring or dermatological purposes. As an example, instead of a single plant such as a tea or mint leaf, the tea may contain, for example, 50% green tea (Camellia sinensis) and 50% mint (Mentha piperita) leaves w / w); 50% mate (Ilex paraguariensis) and 30% ivy (Hedera helix) leaves and 20% coffee beans (coffee spp (Coffea spp) (w / w)) for slimming applications; 40% Gingko biloba leaf and 40% Curcuma longa rhizome and 20% rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) leaves (w / w) for anti-aging purposes, Camellia sinensis and 30% hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa and 30% hazel (Corylus avellana)) leaves and 40% black tea (many other combinations) Can be replaced with a mixture as well.

The combination of different plant materials through a process of reconstituting into a single fiber impregnated with an extract from another plant (same plant or blend) provides additive effects or synergistic effects. For example, a combination of certain plant extracts or a combination of specific plant components may be used, for example, as a mixture of hops and valerian extracts used to treat insomnia and arousal (Blumenthal and al. A mixture of oregano and cranberry extracts used to treat H. pylori infection (Lin et al., Appl. Chem. 2000, 394-400; S. baicalensis , D.C., et al., Environ. Microbiol.

Example  One

How to make a reconstructed plant product

Tea plant was used as raw material. The plants were mixed with the plant / water in water at a weight ratio of 1: 5 and the mixture was heated to 85 캜 for 20 minutes. The aqueous part was then separated from the fibrous part by an extraction step in a hydraulic press. The fibrous residue was then heated again at 85 DEG C for 10 minutes in a 1: 5 weight ratio of plant / water. The aqueous part was also separated from the fibrous part by an extraction step in a hydraulic press. The sample was then refined in a Valley heater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. As a next step, cellulose fibers and in particular (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 each) are added to the fibrous residues as residue / wood pulp at a weight ratio of 5: 1 fibrous And a hand sheet was produced. The aqueous portion separated by pressing was concentrated to a 50% solids concentration in an evaporator.

The concentrated aqueous part was coated on the hand sheet on the manual size press. The level of solubility is typically 27% to 37% in dry-finished products. The level of solubility of the reconstituted plant was about 27%, which is the solubility of the common plant used as a starting material in the experiment. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer. The reconstructed plant product obtained had a disk shape.

Comparison of Reconstructed Plant Products vs. Conventional Plants

Caffeine is known as the main component of tea leaves. The literature shows that the concentration can vary from 2.5 to 5% (w / w). Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant. It is used both as diversion and medically to reduce physical fatigue and restore alertness in the event of drowsiness. This creates increased awareness, a more rapid and clear flow of thought, increased concentration, and more general body coordination. This is often included in skin-care products that require reducing cellulite and burn eye.

Detection and quantification of caffeine can be carried out via UV detection at a wavelength of 274 nm.

The obtained reconstituted plants were tested for their properties. In addition, ordinary tea plants were filled in a conventional cellulosic bag for comparison infusion production. To detect the properties, the optical density of the solution was measured at 274 nm. Both reconstituted and existing plants were inserted in hot water (90 ° C). The same experimental conditions as the same weight of plant material were used. The beaker was filled with 200 mL of water (ref. Cristaline) and heated to 90 ° C. At the start of the experiment, i.e. at T = 0, the heating was stopped and the bag with normal black tea was immersed in water. A rotating magnet was used to homogenize the contents of the beaker throughout the entire experiment.

Six water samples were taken at the 30 second stage. The absorbance of the sample was then measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 274 nm. For the reference test, a sample of clear water (Cristaline) heated to 90 占 폚 was used. The same procedure was then repeated with a bag containing the reconstituted plant product according to the invention.

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the optical density measured after 3 minutes of extraction for the reconstituted plant product was 0.69, but it was 0.63 for half normal plants. Thus, the product according to the invention provided a higher extraction rate of solubles, such as, for example, caffeine, as compared to conventional plant products. In particular, the extraction rate in this test was + 10% relative to the normal bag. The reconstituted plants allowed for more efficient extraction (up to about 100% solubles were extracted from the plants). That is, using the same amount of material, more solubles, such as, for example, caffeine, may be released from the reconstituted plant product according to the present invention than are released from conventional plant products in standard cellulosic bags.

Similar results were obtained when different extraction times were used, or when the reconstituted plants were compared to loose forms, i.e., black tea without the use of cellulose bags.

The results show improved properties of the reconstituted plant. This result, i.e. improved material release, is equally meaningful for other applications, for example, using other solvents or not using solvents.

Example  2

The reconstituted plant product obtained according to the method described in Example 1 was used to determine the first extraction rate. On the other hand, natural black tea contained in ordinary cellulosic bags was used to measure the second extraction rate. The first and second extraction rates represent the rate of the solubles, and mainly caffeine in this example can be released from the plant product. The results are shown graphically in Fig.

As in Example 1, the reconstituted plants were immersed in water at 90 DEG C and optical density was measured over time. Similarly, conventional plant products were immersed in water at 90 占 폚. In this example, more soluble matter, mainly caffeine, was released from the plant and there would be a higher optical density of each water. As shown in FIG. The optical density of water (dotted line) using reconstructed plants changes more rapidly than water (solid line) using ordinary plants. An optical density of 0.6 was reached by the reconstituted plants within 20 seconds. In contrast, the same optical density was reached by conventional plants only after about two minutes.

This indicates that the reconstituted plant provides improved properties with respect to the rate at which the material can be released from the plant product.

Similar results were obtained when the reconstituted plant product was compared with loose natural black tea.

Example  3

In this example, the same settings as in Example 2 were used, except that the water was room temperature, i.e., 20 ° C.

As shown in Fig. 5, the optical density of water (dotted line) using reconstructed plants changes more rapidly than water (solid line) using ordinary plants. Water using reconstituted plants reached an optical density of 0.3 within about 30 seconds and reached an optical density of 0.6 within about 2 minutes. In contrast, conventional plants in the bag required about six times longer time to provide an optical density of 0.3. Thus, the reconstituted plant product provides a faster extraction of soluble matter, mainly caffeine, than the ordinary plant in the bag.

Similar results were obtained when the reconstituted plants were compared with loose natural black tea.

Example  4

This example demonstrates the controllability (higher or lower than the standard) of the amount of soluble and active ingredients present in the reconstituted plant product. The soluble content was determined by measuring the weight of a given sample before and after extraction.

The black tea was used to produce the plant product reconstituted according to the method of Example 1. As a control, ordinary black tea containing solubles in an amount of 26% (w / w) was used.

By adjusting the coating rate, the amount of the solubles can be increased to 5% (w / w; reduced level), 26% (w / w; standard level) and 50% (w / w; .

Due to the controllability of the reconstituted product according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a consistent and standardized delivery level of soluble / active ingredients compared to natural products, which generally exhibit inherent variations.

Example  5

In this example, another reconstituted plant product was prepared and tested according to the method of Example 1.

Sample 1 (loose original plant)

The amount of soluble matter was measured to be about 30% for loose natural black tea.

Sample 2 (native plant in a cellulose bag)

For the same difference as in the natural black tea contained in a conventional double-chambered cellulose bag, i.e., Sample 1, the amount of the soluble matter was measured to be about 30%.

Sample 3 (plant reconstituted with a standard amount of solubles)

The reconstituted plant product according to the present invention was prepared from black tea. The reconstituted plant product was in the form of a disk and had a standard dry basis, i.e., 100 gsm. The amount of soluble matter corresponding to the coating rate for the reconstituted sample was the same as that of the native plant, i.e. 30%.

Sample 4 (plant reconstituted with reduced amounts of solubles)

The reconstituted plant product according to the present invention was prepared from black tea. The reconstituted plant product was in the form of a disk and had a standard dry basis weight. The amount of solubles was 20%, which was reduced compared to the 30% standard.

Sample 5 (plant reconstituted with an increased amount of soluble matter)

The reconstituted plant product according to the present invention was prepared from black tea. The reconstituted plant product was in the form of a disk and had a standard dry basis weight. The amount of solubles was 50%, which was increased compared to the standard of 30%.

Sample 6 (plant reconstituted with reduced dry basis)

The reconstituted plant product according to the present invention was prepared from black tea. The reconstituted plant product was in the form of a disk and had a reduced dry basis weight of 60 gsm compared to a standard dry basis weight of 100 gsm. The amount of solubles was the same as that of natural plants, i.e. 30%.

A comparison of the characteristics of the samples, especially sample 3 with samples 1 and 2; Comparison of Sample 3 with Samples 4 and 5; And comparison of Sample 3 with Sample 6 confirmed the results of the previous Examples. That is, the reconstituted plants provide better extraction rates and faster extraction, and enable the amount of released solids / active ingredient (such as caffeine in tea) to be regulated.

Example  6

Method for manufacturing a bag comprising a reconstituted plant product

Black tea was mixed with water at a plant / water weight ratio of 1: 5 and the mixture was heated to 85 캜 for 20 minutes. The aqueous part was then separated from the fibrous part by an extraction step in a hydraulic press. The fibrous residue was then heated again to 85 DEG C for 10 minutes at a plant / water weight ratio of 1: 5. The aqueous portion was also separated from the fibrous portion by an extraction step in a hydraulic press. The samples were then refined in a Valley beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. As a next step, cellulose fibers (blends of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 each) were added to the fibrous plants at varying levels to prepare other samples and prepare hand sheets. The hand sheet was subsequently dried in a plate dryer.

The following proportions of plant / cellulose fibers were used to make the bag:

First sample: 40/60 (w / w);

Second sample: 60/40 (w / w);

Third sample: 80/20 (w / w).

The sample bag was filled with ordinary black tea and no other plant extracts were placed on the bag.

Comparison of white to ordinary cellulose bags containing reconstituted plant products

The bag prepared according to the above method was compared with a conventional cellulose bag containing the same amount of black tea.

The results were similar to Examples 1 and 2. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the extraction performance of the sample corresponding to the 80/20 ratio (first sample) matched the extraction performance of a conventional cellulose bag when measured by optical density.

Example  7

The plant extract of the extraction step was used to impregnate the fibrous web of Example 6 to obtain an impregnated bag having an amount of plant extract of 5-50% of the total weight. The bag was filled with black tea.

Measurement of the extraction performance of the prepared bag compared to a conventional cellulose bag containing the same amount of plant showed similar results as in Examples 1 and 2. That is, more solids were released from the bag according to the present invention and the extraction rate was higher due to the additional release of the material from the coating (plant extract), in addition to the natural extraction from the black tea contained in the bag.

A sample bag according to the present invention was harvested as a plant extract as described above. Using 90 ° C water, the product released 35% (w / w) plant solubles in water.

Example  8

The following products were produced:

1) produce a product in the form of a plant bag with a dry basis weight of about 5% solids (w / w) and about 120 g / m 2 (w / w);

2) A product in the form of a plant bag was prepared with about 5% solids (w / w) and dry basis weight of about 60 g / m 2 (w / w).

Both products were not filled with plants.

7, the first product containing a dry basis weight of about 120 g / m 2 (w / w) is shorter than the second product containing a dry basis weight of about 60 g / m 2 (w / w) Releases more material in time.

Example  9

The above Example 1 was repeated with the addition of a wet strength agent (here a cationic polyamide amine resin) to reduce the potential degradation of some of the reconstituted material in water. The wet strengthening agent was added to the fibrous part.

The tea product was prepared according to the following method: Tea was first heated at 85 캜 for 20 minutes at a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. An extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous portion from the secondary fiber portion. The recovered tea fiber portion was again heated to 85 ° C for 10 minutes in a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 in each) were added to the tea fiber residue in a ratio of 5: 1 by weight of carboxy / wood pulp, Wet enhancer was added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in an evaporator and then coated on a hand sheet on a manual size-press. The level of solubility is typically 27% to 37% in dry-finished products. In this example, the solubility level of the reconstituted tea was about 27%, which is the soluble content of the conventional tea used as the starting material in the experiment. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

The injection test was carried out in hot water (about 90 ° C) and the product using the wet strengthening agent showed less degradation in water than the same material without the agent.

Figure 8 shows the reconstituted tea after 3 minutes of injection, in one embodiment without the wet enhancing agent. The photograph shows that the material is decomposed.

Figure 9 shows the reconstituted tea in one embodiment using a wet strength agent after 3 minutes of injection. The photograph shows that the material is not substantially degraded.

Example  10

To measure the effect of reconstituted tea solubility content and dry basis weight in the infusion profile, tea products were prepared according to the following method: tea was first heated to 85 ° C for 20 minutes at a car / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight . An extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous portion from the secondary fiber portion. The recovered tea fiber portion was again heated to 85 ° C for 10 minutes in a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 in each) were added to the tea fiber residue in a ratio of 5: 1 by weight of carboxy / wood pulp, Wet enhancer was added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in an evaporator and then coated on a hand sheet on a manual size-press. The level of solubility is typically 27% to 37% in dry-finished products. In this example, the following products were prepared:

Product A: The level of solubility of the reconstituted car was 22%, which is the solubility of the common car used as the starting material in the experiment. The dry basis weight of the material was 70 grs (dry basis) per m < 2 >.

Product C: The solubility level of the reconstituted car was 22%, which is the solubility of the common car used as the starting material in the experiment. The dry basis weight of this material was 170 grs (dry basis) per m 2, which is 143% higher than A.

Product D: The level of availability of the reconstituted car was 38%, which is 73% higher than that of A. The dry basis weight of the D material was also 170 grs (dry basis) per m < 2 >.

The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

The products (A, C and D) obtained in this example were tested and compared for their properties in making tea. All of the products were used to make tea, and the optical density of the solution (tea) was measured at 274 nm. For all samples, the total infusion time at hot water (90 DEG C) was 5 minutes. (2.5 grs) of the same weight and the same experimental conditions were used: a beaker containing 500 ml of water was heated to 90 < 0 > C. At T = 0, that is, at the start of the experiment, the heating was stopped and the tea strip was immersed in water. The contents of the beaker were homogenized during the whole experimental period using a rotating magnet.

Water samples were taken periodically and up to 5 minutes. The optical density of the sample was then measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 274 nm (maximum absorbance of caffeine). The reference / blank test was performed with a sample of clear water heated to 90 < 0 > C.

The results are shown graphically in Figures 10 and 11.

Figure 10: The reconstituted car (D - high solubility content) represents tea solubles at an infusion level higher than C (standard solubility level). It takes 300 seconds using sample C to reach the infusion level of 8.3 (denoted by 10 x optical density at 274 nm), whereas it only takes 40 seconds for D water (87% faster). The sensory evaluation performed by the car panel group also showed a stronger flavor and taste in D than C after 5 minutes of infusion. This proves that the tea caffeine level can be controlled according to the soluble content of reconstituted tea materials.

Figure 11 shows that car A reconstructed at a lower basis weight exhibits tea infusions at an infusion level faster than C. The figures show that the infusion rate of 8.3 (denoted by 10 x optical density at 274 nm) reaches 120 seconds for the A sample, while 300 seconds for the C is required. Infusion with A is 60% faster than C. Indeed, a lower basis weight for a given weight of material entails a more significant contact surface, which ultimately improves caffeine infusion kinetics.

Example  11

To determine the effect of the reconstitution treatment on the green tea infusion profile, the tea product was prepared according to the following method: Green tea (Sencha) was first weighed at a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight at 85 ° C It was heated for 20 minutes. An extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous portion from the secondary fiber portion. The recovered tea fiber portion was again heated to 85 ° C for 10 minutes in a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 in each) were added to the tea fiber residue in a ratio of 5: 1 by weight of carboxy / wood pulp, Wet enhancer was added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in an evaporator and then coated on a hand sheet on a manual size-press. In this example, the product was made with a 36% extract content, which is the soluble content of the starting material in the experiment. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

The product obtained in this example was tested for its sensory properties and compared to the natural tea materials used in the experiment as described above. Both products were used to make tea. For all samples, the total infusion time in hot water (90 占 폚) was 5 minutes. (2grs) of the same weight and the same experimental conditions were used: a beaker containing 200ml of water was heated to 90 ° C and the secondary material was immersed in water. Then, after 5 minutes, the sensory profiles of both products were performed. The results are shown graphically in Fig.

Experiments show that aroma, color and taste are stronger in reconstituted tea than in natural materials. However, the bitter taste and bitter taste are significantly lower in the reconstituted tea than the natural material.

Example  12

Rooibos  Reconstruction of leaves

The reconstituted product was prepared according to the following procedure: Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) was first heated for 20 minutes at 85 ° C in a car / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. The extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous part from the rooibos fiber part. The recovered rooibos fiber portion was again heated to 85 ° C for 10 minutes in a 1: 5 rooibose / water ratio by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 each) were added to the rooibos fiber residue in a ratio of 5: 1 rooibos fiber / wood pulp by weight, Wet enhancer was added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in an evaporator and then coated on a hand sheet on a manual size-press. In this example, the product was made with a 22% extract content, which is the soluble content of the starting material in the experiment. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

The product obtained in this example was tested for its sensory properties and compared to the natural rooibos material used in the experiment as described above. Both products were used to make rooibos beverages. For all samples, the total infusion time in hot water (90 占 폚) was 5 minutes. The same weight of rooibos material (2 grs) and the same experimental conditions were used: a beaker containing 200 ml of water was heated to 90 캜 and the rooibos material was immersed in water. Then, after 5 minutes, the sensory profiles of both products were performed. The results are shown graphically in Fig.

The experiment shows that the reconstituted rooibos tea tastes stronger than the original material. Moreover, the color is stronger.

The reconstituted rooibos and the original materials obtained in this example were tested for their properties in the manufacture of the infusion and compared. Both products were used in the manufacture of the infusion and the optical density of the solution was measured at 450 nm. For all samples, the total infusion time at hot water (90 DEG C) was 5 minutes. (2.5 grs) of the same weight and the same experimental conditions were used: a beaker containing 500 ml of water was heated to 90 < 0 > C. At T = 0, i.e. at the start of the experiment, the heating was stopped and the reconstituted rooibos strips were immersed in water. The contents of the beaker were homogenized during the whole experimental period using a rotating magnet.

Rooibos is becoming more popular, especially among health-conscious consumers, due to its lack of caffeine and high levels of antioxidants such as asphal palm, notopaggin and lutein. Lutein is a red pigment that contributes to the red color of carotenoids and rooibos. It also functions specifically as an antioxidant and radical scavenger for the eye. Rooibos is also used in skin products and represents some evidence of UV protection effects.

Detection and quantitation of lutein can be performed by UV detection at a wavelength of 450 nm.

Water samples were taken up to 5 minutes periodically. The optical density of the sample was then measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 450 nm (maximum absorbance of lutein). The reference / blank test was run with a sample of clear water heated to 90 ° C.

The infusion performance for the reconstituted rooibos material is graphically shown in Fig. The infusion of Rooibos products is significant. However, reconstituted rooibos proves to provide, for example, a more complete extraction of lutein. After 5 minutes infusion, the optical density of the liquid made from reconstituted rooibos is 1.1 (+ 22%) compared to 0.9 for the original material.

Removal of caffeine from tea leaves due to the reconstitution process

To demonstrate the potential performance of the present invention to reduce the amount of a characteristic component from a car, a process was developed and tested on a laboratory scale to reduce the caffeine content from the tea.

The literature shows that alkaloid compounds such as caffeine are extracted as soluble fractions. Thus, the experiment was carried out in the liquid portion of the car after the separation step.

The tea was first heated at 85 ° C for 20 minutes in a tea / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. The extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous part from the secondary fiber part. The aqueous portion of the tea was then mixed with charcoal in powder form. About 23 g of active charcoal was added to 500 ml of tea liquid, mixed at 60 캜, and stirred at 350 rpm for 1 hour. The caffeine level in the liquid was then measured via LC-MS method after filtration.

The following samples were prepared:

- Control: Activated charcoal Standard non-treated tea liquid

- A: Tea liquid treated with CECA's active charcoal Acticarbone P13

- B: CECA's active charcoal Tea liquid treated with Acticarbone 25W

- C: CECA's active charcoal Tea liquid treated with Acticarbone 3SA

- D: CECA's active charcoal Acticarbone CPL treated tea liquid

The caffeine content in the tea liquid is as follows:

- Control: 22700 mg / kg

- A: <10 mg / kg

- B: < 10 mg / kg

- C: <10 mg / kg

- D: <14 mg / kg

It can be seen that the level of caffeine is greatly reduced using active charcoal in tea liquids.

The reconstituted product was prepared according to the following method: Coffee (coffee spp ( Coffea spp )) was first heated for 20 minutes at 60 ° C in a 1: 5 ratio coffee / water by weight. The extraction step followed in a hydraulic press to separate the aqueous portion from the coffee fiber portion. The recovered coffee fiber portion was again heated to 60 DEG C for 10 minutes at a coffee / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (a blend of abaca, hardwood and hardwood pulp with a ratio of 60/10/30 in each) were added to the blended fiber residue in a blend fiber / wood pulp ratio of 5: 1 by weight, Wet enhancer was added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in an evaporator and then coated on a hand sheet on a manual size-press. In this example, the product was made with a 30% extract content, which is the soluble content of the starting material in the experiment. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

The product obtained in this example was tested for its properties in the production of coffee and compared with the original material. Both products were used to make coffee, and the optical density of the solution (coffee) was measured at 274 nm. For all samples, the total infusion time in hot water (90 占 폚) was 5 minutes. The same weight of coffee material (2.5 grs) and the same experimental conditions were used: a beaker containing 500 ml water was heated to 90 占 폚. At T = 0, i.e. at the start of the experiment, the heating was stopped and the coffee strips were immersed in water. The contents of the beaker were homogenized during the whole experimental period using a rotating magnet.

Water samples were taken periodically and up to 5 minutes. The optical density of the sample was then measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 274 nm (maximum absorbance of caffeine). The reference / blank test was performed with a sample of clear water heated to 90 &lt; 0 &gt; C.

Peppermint ( Mentor  x Piperita ( Mentha  x piperita ) And green tea leaves Camellia  Synensis ( Camellia sinensis )) &Lt; / RTI &gt;

The reconstituted product was prepared according to the following method: peppermint (menta x l retarder (Mentha x piperita)) and tea (Camellia sinen sheath (Camellia The natural leaves were first blended at a ratio of 50/50 and the blend was heated at 85 캜 for 20 minutes at a blend / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. The extraction step followed in the hydraulic press to separate the aqueous portion from the blend fiber portion. The blend fiber portion was again heated to 85 占 폚 for 10 minutes at a blend / water ratio of 1: 5 by weight. After further extraction (by pressing), the fiber portions were then refined in a Valley Beater at 1.4% consistency for 10 minutes. After refining, cellulose fibers (abaca pulp) were added to the blend fiber residue in a blend fiber / wood pulp ratio of 5: 1 by weight. A wet strength agent was then added to the fiber portion at a level of 5% w / w to make the hand sheet. The aqueous portion was concentrated to a solids concentration of 50% in the evaporator. A variety of products were manufactured with different basis weight / solubles ratio. The coated hand sheet was dried in a plate dryer.

Samples were evaluated for skin application by sensory panels. The product was immersed in water at room temperature for 2 minutes and then applied to the panelist's face. The color, flavor, drape (tendency to loosely place the sheet on the face) and wet strength of the various samples were evaluated.

As expected, the higher the level of extract added, the more green the sample becomes (in the case of samples containing 37%, the green color becomes dark green). All samples provide a pleasant and fresh fragrance, especially at higher extract levels. Drape is better with lower basis weights and lower levels of extract. However, the behavior of a sample with a basis weight of less than 80 gsm is considered acceptable for facial application by all panelists (product evenly covering each region (s)). As a result, the bondability in wetting conditions of all samples is excellent because the material can be manipulated several times without noticeably tearing. After 5 minutes of application, freshness on the skin was noted unanimously by the panelist group.
